Conor McGregor's sister reported to be getting married at the Cashel Palace Hotel in Tipperary

The sister of MMA fighter and whiskey tycoon Conor McGregor has chosen the five-star Cashel Palace Hotel as the secret venue for her upcoming wedding, according to reports. 

Erin McGregor and her fiancé Terry Kavanagh will tie the knot in Tipperary for what's being dubbed the celebrity wedding of the year.

Her brother, Conor, is known around the world as a professional MMA fighter, boxer and for his business interests which include Proper Twelve whiskey. 

The couple got engaged a year ago and The Sunday Independent has reported that the family opted for the Tipperary hotel for their special day this summer.

After making the decision to host an Irish wedding, Erin told her followers on her social media page: "I think home is calling us for the logistics of everything with Harzo (her son) and the stress that we put ourselves under," she said.

"Less stress for us on our big day was the deciding factor. We have decided to stay at home and marry in our own beautiful countryside. Surrounded by the ones who have been there for us. I cannot wait to share our journey with you guys."
